The export to PDF feature of Power BI Desktop is awesome. Could we have this PDF support option via the embedded API to generate PDFs into a network location? Say, an UNC path. This would be fantastic for bespoke applications!

Power BI Embedded service supports embedding Q&A for a single dataset in the Power BI workspace at a given point of time. However, it does not support embedding Q&A on multiple datasets simultaneously. Would be really helpful if this feature is enabled/developed.

Other than the Devscope Power BI addon which does not work the way I expected, Can Microsoft provide a POWER BI Add-on which allows us to insert or copy a particular visual into the word document? I'd like to copy paste a particular chart/graph from power BI web/desktop like we can copy graphs from Excel into Word. I tried to export the Power BI report into a powerpoint file but since we have over 15 pages in this PBI Report this was not allowed.

Surely Microsoft can provide this integration between their own products?

I have been using Snagit to copy-paste visuals into a 60 page report, and it's very time consuming. I would appreciate a quicker way to get these visuals into a report.

Export Power BI report as PBIT using PowerShell or C# to automate the process. Power BI is currently supporting manual process to export PBIT files. However, it is tedious process when you have 100s of reports scattered on multiple workspaces.

I've been using the Power BI REST API to get the list of reports/datasets/dashboards/tiles/members/etc.), but don't see any option to get the list of Apps and the contents of a specific App (reports, dashboards, app members).

Please add this to the REST API!

We really need the Apps list and app contents (reports list, etc) and security information (members that have access to a specific App).

We use Hotjar surveys to measure our CES score on 'thankyou' pages. At the moment we have to refresh all the hotjar datadumps by hand to refresh data. Therefore it would be great to have a automated data import from Hotjar in Power BI, this would save a lot of time.

Update Parameter Function only effect on Cloud but does not actually change the value into the .pbix file.
We need this function to directly modified the parameter inside .pbix file so that other editor could get updated parameter via download from Cloud.

With the newly released functionality of commenting for reports, it would be great to be able to retrieve these using the API in order to create summaries or overviews of the comments in a separate report.

We would like to be able to create groups via API in readonly mode. It is not possible to specify isReadOnly field while creating a group. IsReadOnly field is being returned on Get groups but we have no way to specify it when creating a new group. It is crucial to be able to create groups in readonly mode as we are trying to automate deployments.

Currently we have the new filter pane working in desktop and powerbi.com as desired; but it is not visible in our embedded environment when accessed that way. Should the new filter experience work in the embedded environment? If so, what are the steps to enable? If not, will this be a feature in the future?

-FIFO which allows 200 k rows and automatically removes old rows to accommodate for new ones when the limit is reached
-None which allows upto 5 million records but does not automatically remove old rows

A third option should be available which allows 5 million records and purges older records according to the retention policy. Either that or the FIFO policy should be updated to allow for a larger row limit instead of 200k.

Currently there is no option in Power BI Embedded API´s or Power BI Service settings to disable a report from being loaded into ‘Edit’-mode by using for instance a Javascript debugger in a web browser, in an app-owns-data Power BI embedded solution. Setting the ViewMode property in Javascript can easily be overridden in any client-side debugger tool. Once an end-user of a website has entered the report in edit mode, the imported data model (i.e. table structure) and all it´s underlying actual data, down to a row-level, is fully exposed to the end-user to freely browse.

What would appear to be a fairly common scenario for using an embedded analytics product; Displaying aggregated only information - without the risk of exposing all it´s underlying data rows - to end-users such as for example sales dashboards, aggregated treatment outcome for a clinical trial, and so on, can therefore not safely be performed using Power BI Embedded today (App Owns Data), with the underlying rows as a base, due to this lack of what would appear a rudimentary security feature.

Please implement some form of service/server-side option to disallow end-users from going into Edit-mode simply by changing some Javascript settings in a web browser debugger. E.g. an option in the API, token generation model or Power BI Service. This would allow the visualization of aggregated data to be implemented more securely, where the underlying imported data is sensitive, e.g. for data privacy, security and compliance requirements.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Create an ASP.NET MVC project (App Owns Data scenario) and
display the report on a page. Create the token with access level "view".
2. The code below will open the report in read mode (excerpt):
var config = {
type: 'report',
tokenType: models.TokenType.Embed,
accessToken: accessToken,
embedUrl: embedUrl,
id: embedReportId,
permissions: models.Permissions.Read,
settings: {
filterPaneEnabled: false,
navContentPaneEnabled: true,
localeSettings: {
language: 'en',
formatLocale: 'en'
}
}
};
3. Load the page and display the report which will now open in read mode, as expected.
4. Using a Javascript browser debugger, reload the page and set a breakpoint somewhere after the config object creation.
5. In the Javascript debugger console, type the following lines of code and then continue with code execution:
config.permissions = models.Permission.All;
config.viewMode = models.ViewMode.Edit;
6. The report is now opened in Edit-mode.
7. The end-user can now simply drag a table from Visualizations and display any selection of data from the imported datasets.

Now we can export power Bi Report in PPT using Power Bi Report service but Provide API for after Embedded power Bi Report in own Application ,here itself we can export the Report in PPT( Using own application ) For this Need Api

Add a fullscreen button to Power BI reports embedded in Sharepoint Online. This is already supported for reports embedded in SharePoint with the "publish to web" feature, but not for reports using secure embed. Right now this is the final feature lacking for us in order to use SharePoint as a complete portal for all our Power BI reports.
